Symptoms assessment and decision to treat patients with advanced Parkinson's disease based on wearables data.

ABSTRACT: Body-worn sensors (BWS) could provide valuable information in the management of Parkinson's disease and support therapeutic decisions based on objective monitoring. To study this pivotal step and better understand how relevant information is extracted from BWS results and translated into treatment adaptation, eight neurologists examined eight virtual cases composed of basic patient profiles and their BWS monitoring results. Sixty-four interpretations of monitoring results and the subsequent therapeutic decisions were collected. Relationship between interrater agreements in the BWS reading and the severity of symptoms were analyzed via correlation studies. Logistic regression was used to identify associations between the BWS parameters and suggested treatment modifications. Interrater agree
